From 30656177c4080460b936709ff6648f201d7d2c1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Williamson Date: Wed, 21 Mar 2018 12:46:21 -0600 Subject: vfio/pci: Add ioeventfd support The ioeventfd here is actually irqfd handling of an ioeventfd such as supported in KVM. A user is able to pre-program a device write to occur when the eventfd triggers. This is yet another instance of eventfd-irqfd triggering between KVM and vfio. The impetus for this is high frequency writes to pages which are virtualized in QEMU. Enabling this near-direct write path for selected registers within the virtualized page can improve performance and reduce overhead. Specifically this is initially targeted at NVIDIA graphics cards where the driver issues a write to an MMIO register within a virtualized region in order to allow the MSI interrupt to re-trigger.
